California voters will decide in 2024 on lowering threshold for new taxes, bonds

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:34:28 GMT

A constitutional amendment that would lower the bar for voters to approve new taxes and bond measures to fund housing and public infrastructure is heading to the 2024 general election ballot after passing the Legislature.California currently requires two-thirds of voters to approve local levies, and local governments have complained for years that the threshold is too high. Berkeley, for example, failed to pass a $650 million bond last year to build affordable housing and repair city infrastructure, despite approval from nearly 60% of voters.The Amendment, ACA-1, would lower the voter threshold on local levies to a 55% voter approval. To pass, it required a two-thirds majority in both houses of the Legislature, which came Thursday on the final day of the current session in Sacramento, with Republicans voting in opposition.The League of California Cities, which lobbied for the change in Sacramento, said that the change will make it easier for cities to address ongoing housing and inf...

It’s part of the broader push to erase LGBTQ+ history from school curricula and to force outings of students to parents under the guise of “parents’ rights.”But it’s not parents’ rights at risk here. It’s the rights of the children in our community that we need to protect. LGBTQ+ youth are overrepresented in the homeless population, and an estimated 25-40% of LGBTQ youth become homeless due to their family’s opposition to their sexual orientation or gender identity.We need our governor and statewide leaders to take swift action to ensure that schools are safe havens for LGBTQ+ youth and not a place that exposes them to further victimi...
